Quote by James Anthony Froude

For me this world was neither so high nor so low as the Church would have it; chequered over with its wild light shadows, I could love it and all the children of it, more dearly, perhaps, because it was not all light.


For me this world was neither so high nor so low as the Chur

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker sees the world in a more nuanced way than the Church does. They perceive it as a mix of contrasting aspects - highs and lows, light and shadows. Rather than viewing the world as solely good or bad, they appreciate its complexity. This perspective allows them to love the world and its inhabitants more deeply, precisely because it contains both light and darkness, making it more relatable and human.
